It was a very rainy day in her market that day, yet she felt she really needed to prospect and decided door knocking would be good to do as you would inevitably be invited inside out of the rain.  Ghastly, but she needed to get her listing inventory up and felt this might be the best way.  She ch...

I promise not to get political here, but you have to admit, the DNC ended on a high note last night and the RNC to begin Sunday hit a high note today by McCain's nomination of a woman for VP.  Very good move strategically for that campaign.  Her comments about the millions of cracks Hillary's cam...

This is the email most of us want to receive from out of town buyers.  I sure hope this offer on their home works out this time.  They have been through a few others prior to this one.  Many of our out of town buyers are waiting for a home to sell where they are moving from.  This couple has been...

Without exception, yesterday and today I have heard only positive comments about the rain and storms we have in our drought-stricken area now.  The Weather people are predicting5-6 inches of rain this week, possibly more.  It will not catch us up on the -21 inches we are missing but sure will hel...

Over the years, I've always found it best to slow down a bit and get all the facts before approaching a situation that can have legal and/or ethical ramifications.  No "deal" is worth jeopardizing your license or violating ethics laws for, either knowingly or unknowingly.  I know many people do i...

Late yesterday evening, I received a phone call from my hair stylists' daughter telling me she had a mishap and would not be able to do my hair at my monthly appointment today.  It was pretty clear she must have had an incident with the new motorcycle she rides.  When I called the salon today, I ...

One of my best years ever in Real Estate was 2005 after having a lumpectomy in late 2004 and recovering from radiation for breast cancer.  I was so grateful to have missed that bullet as it was found very early, that every day was wonderful.  My attitude was one of gratitude for being given a 2nd...

My response to a local Mortgage Lender's blog on housing starts being down is good news for the resale home market.  Our market has been saturated with new homes for years now, and in my opinion, it was just a matter of time before that happened.  Supply and Demand . . . every time I think of tho...
